"Walking in the Sunshine" is a song by British 2-tone/ska band Bad Manners, released in September 1981 as the second single from their third album Gosh It's... Bad Manners.

[1] Reviewing the song for Record Mirror, Sunie Fletcher wrote "Buster and the boys pull themselves out of their role as a second-rate Madness, only to emerge as… would you believe a third-rate UB40?

The exuberance of their previous works has vanished, leaving behind a listless, limber reggae item which seems to drift on for far more than its three minutes 26 seconds".

[2] However, Ian Birch for Smash Hits wrote "It's amazing how Bad Manners can look so slobby and make such a sophisticated single.

This is a dapper pop song with an ambling reggae gait and some fine instrumental breaks".
